Firstly, thank you, developers. I am not claiming, but just wondering from a technical point of view.

Though Python is an interpreter language, its discord bot library always responds faster than Nim's discord library dimscord.

( the use of memory is much smaller than in Python)

Why, even though it is compiled language, it responds slower?

Nim being a compiled language doesn't magically make things faster, it really depends on how the library was written. Just to make sure - are you compiling your program with -d:release? If it's still slow, then it probably means that the library is doing something in a slower way that's in Python, so you should check and see where the time is being spent.

Thank you, I was not doing -d:release. I am going to check that!
